Monopole tri-band notched characteristics UWB antenna for WiMAX, C-band, WLAN and X-band applications

In this paper, a novel Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) antenna is proposed. The antenna is designed to reject WiMAX, C-band, WLAN and X-band applications by etching rectangular strip and two nested U-shaped slots in the antenna patch and feed. The proposed antenna is simulated using High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS). Measurements are conducted and a good agreement with the simulation results is demonstrated. The proposed antenna could be a good candidate for UWB systems.
